Re: Zip Tying Motor Controllers onto Robot?
We go even further to cut out our belly pan with all the mounting holes for ALL of the electronics and proceed to thread the holes of the .090 plate. I used the Hole Wizard tool in solid works to give all of the holes the proper dimension and then we thread them as soon as the plate gets back from the laser sponsor. The holes don't even need drilling before we tap them. After the holes are tapped we bolt everything to the plate with plastic machine screws and then cut off the excess bolt with a pair of dikes. Super Simple after the cad is done. However. If we decide we need to add things later Zip Ties, are our number one choice. So zip ties work very well.
